The original decision to roll back from 15GB from 5GB was seen as stealing the candy from a baby and it appears that someone at Microsoft came to their senses. There are some people who will pay for the online storage and some that won't.

Dropbox took away a lot of this market and one of the key arguments to choose Microsoft over Dropbox was the storage size.

Redmond scored many customers with the monopolistic inclusion of its One drive storage solution in Windows 10 waving free storage right before customers' noses. Of course many could not resist because it was free.

The decision to limit the Office 365 users from original unlimited to 1TB didn’t go well either. Microsoft used a lame excuse that a few individuals used to store 75 TB of (and these were all adult movies. ed) and therefore Microsoft decided to punish 99.999per cent other normal people who stored business things.

Microsoft has announced that it plans to phase in unlimited OneDrive storage for Office 365 subscribers. According to the official OneDrive blog, all Office 365 customers will get unlimited OneDrive storage at no additional cost.

Microsoft has started rolling this out today to Office 365 Home, Personal, and University customers. The roll out will continue over the coming months.

Office 365 Business users, it looks like, will have to wait a little longer.

Microsoft said that its OneDrive for Business customers will see unlimited storage will be listed on the Office 365 roadmap in the coming days and it will begin updating the First Release customers in 2015, aligned with our promise to provide ample notification for significant service changes.

The personal edition of Office 365 costs only $6.99 a month the addition of unlimited storage seems pretty good. Google and Dropbox both charge $9.99 a month for a 1TB plan — and Dropbox doesn't tie its service to any productivity software.

Software giant Microsoft is to rename its SkyDrive “OneDrive” following the trademark infringement case over UK branding.

Redmond announced that SkyDrive, their cloud storage service will be renamed to OneDrive any day now. Microsoft was dragged into court by British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB) last year over SkyDrive branding. Microsoft thought about fighting BSkyB’s claims over SkyDrive branding, but then decided to step back and rebrand it instead.

The Redmond giant has registered onedrive.com and has also posted a promotional video on YouTube announcing the upcoming change. Microsoft thinks that OneDrive is a better name as the one place for documents, photos, and other content that is seamlessly connected across all the devices you use. SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro will be rebranded to OneDrive and OneDrive for Business.

Writing in his bog General Manager, Consumer Apps & Services, Ryan Gavin admits that “Changing the name of a product as loved as SkyDrive wasn’t easy”. He says “We are excited about what is to come, and can’t wait to share more.” It’s not yet clear when exactly the name change exercise will complete, but with the registration of the new domain name, Microsoft has got the ball rolling. Below is the promotional video shared on YouTube.
